kelvinpapp Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hi All, First time poster onĀ the forums š i took delivery of my 2019 Avant a couple of weeks ago - a ā40 TFSIā variant (automatic). Very, very pleased with it š IāmĀ interested to know whether itās ānormalā for it to feel like the bite point on the clutch is higher than normal? I seem to need to give mine quiteĀ a bit of throttle (1200-1500rpm) before the clutch starts to release and I pull away - itās caught me out a few times at junctions / roundabouts. I donāt recall the model I test drove behaving the same, butĀ it was quite a while back and itās possible Iāve just forgotten (I test droveĀ quite a few different cars when I was car shopping and had a wait of nearly 3 months for a factory order). My previous car was a C220D Mercedes, so quite different in terms of throttle response and power delivery. It may just be a case of getting used to it, but I thought Iād ask the question to ease my mind. Itās my first automatic petrol.Ā Iāll probably put a call in to the dealer this week for some reassurance. Thanks in advance! Kelvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owrang Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I have Just received my new Audi A4 STronic and the same thing happens to me. This slight pauseĀ before take off does not happen with torque converter auto's, so I think it is to do with the dual clutch system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
